Holy amazeballs! What a convention. Well, Denver Comic Conventions 2015 has wrapped up, and after about a week of recovery...I am STILL recovering. It was an amazing weekend with amazing people, an amazing staff, volunteers, attendees, panels, panelists, artists, vendors, celebrities, etc... I am still on cloud nine from the weekend.

For those of you that didn't know, I was selected to do the badge art for this year's Denver Comic Con. It was a huge boost to the profile that I have in the local industry, and in the industry in general. There were 101,500 people wandering around Colorado Convention Center last weekend with my art hanging around their necks. I can't believe it.

The show was great for me, I was busy all weekend meeting people, shaking hands, signing badges, and selling badge related artwork. I had trading cards, postcards, metal postcards, and the original inks framed with a metal print. (I do still have a LOT of all of those left, so if you want any email me at jpeteranetz(at)gmail(dot)com

My plan is to talk more about my reactions to the weekend, the internet's reaction to the weekend, and if you want some of my thoughts, check out my facebook page: www.facebook.com/jpeteranetz

TARDIS, the staple of Geekdom over the past 50 years. Appropriate to end with for two reasons. Number 1: This is one of the most iconic items Geeks know and others don't. Secondly, this weekend is going to feel like a whirlwind of time travel and excitement and it will be over too quickly. This is the Monday Attendee badge.

I want to thank the Denver Comic Con and Pop Culture Classroom team for letting me do the badges this year after 4 years of asking (now I will stop nagging, you're welcome). They have been supportive, helpful, and amazing to work with! SEE YOU AT THE COLORADO CONVENTION CENTER TOMORROW!!!

The artwork was done solely by me (concept to completion). I want to extend an invitation to the all the attendees to come visit me at booth 324 in merchant's mesa and get your badge signed. I will have the original ink drawing of this badge framed and available that weekend with a one or eight hand printed and signed metal prints of the final image. I will also have metal hand printed metal badges (eight total). I will have 44 postcard size "polaroids" available (see my twitter feed @jpeteranetz for more on those). And I will have trading card size images of each in packs of 5. There will be special chase cards printed on silver, gold, and (if it works out) black foil card stock, and I will have sketch cards randomly inserted.

I look forward to seeing you all at Denver Comic Con Booth 324! May 23-25!!

I will be posting one design daily from now until Denver Comic Con. And they will post as I see them available online.

TV's Green Arrow has been garnering a lot of positive reviews since it started. I believe DC has done some of the best TV series over the past decade. Their movies leave a little something to be desired, but that is OK. This is the badge for the Monday Volunteers and Programming.

Meet the most powerful Transformer of our time. Optimus will be on the badges of the Sunday Volunteers and Presenters. I am very happy with how this came out...except for the top of the helmet, it's a little strange.

This is the badge for the Sunday Attendees. They get to blast off with Malcolm Reynolds and his model Firefly...which I want. I think it would be awesome to have a small scale version of the firefly. If anyone wants to set that up....

Another one of my favorite badges. I LOVE how the lightsaber came out, and I think the characters came out really well. This one was fun figuring out the background colors, but when I finally did, this image just popped. This badges is for the Saturday Voluteers and programming presenters.

I ddn't realize this at the time I drew this badge, but I feel like I am honoring a great legend with this badge. Mr. Nimoy (who played Spock...I know, I know, all geekdom knows this) was a great inspiration for many actors, TV aliens, and people. The exhibitors, Vendors, Guests, and Artists at the Denver Comic Con will have this inspiration on their badges the entire weekend. To amend the paragraph below, the original of this badge was purchased and I will only have the prints available over the convention weekend.

See that link? That Link goes to an interview I did with Groovey TV, the OFFICIAL news of Denver Comic Con. I love these guys. They are a great interview, they are relaxed and just love comics and other AWESOME culture. I hope you enjoy it...I make a fool of myself, but that's normal. ENJOY!!

Something I did NOT know until working on these badges...Battlestar Galactica was a "parody" of sorts to Star Wars. And the Cylons were the Storm Troopers of that world. So, here we are with a Storm Trooper and a Cylon. I am a fan of this badge. It's the only one with a word balloon, and, I believe it really helps make the point of the two franchises without directly saying anything. This is the VIP pass for this year's con, so all you special people out there get a Storm Trooper bothering a Cylon.

Today, I get the pleasure of sharing my FAVORITE of the badges. The Spider-Man badge, for some reason really speaks to me. It is also a favorite of many of the people to whom I show the badges. I was also able to request which badge got this design...well, I didn't request it, my three older girls did. They wanted this badge, and they wanted it as the kid's badge. So this is the 3-Day, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday Kid's badge.

What you are seeing above is the Saturday Adult to the 2015 Denver Comic Con. This one is by far, one of my favorite badges. I was able to take two of the newest Avengers, and make them the badge. A HUGE bonus is they are both women. The push by the Big Two to create, and allow their creators, to generate more diverse characters is a HUGE win for the comic book industry. The amount of people being exposed to the medium, and characters that are being created are driving the industrty in EXACTLY the right direction! THANK YOU FOR THE DIVERSITY!!

Congratulations on all the Denver Comic Con attendees this year that were able to attain their 3 Day passes for the greatest comic book show in, well Colorado, and the largest INDEPENDENT show of its kind.

For those of you that know me, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! I am very grateful for everyone who has helped me get to a point where I was even considered to do such a massive project. And thank you to the Denver Comic Con and Pop Culture Classroom teams for giving me the opportunity. I feel like I can make this an "Oscar type" speech, but won't.

As a wedding gift for a couple getting married at Denver Comic Con, I was asked to do an ad for them in the program for the weekend. It looks like the image above...duh. Anyway, everyone at the convention is invited, and it's the last major event of the weekend. I am looking forward to making it down there, if at all possible. There are going to be Stormtroopers as ushers, and you may get to see a LOT of celebrities from the convention. Hope you all enjoy the artwork.

Again, let me know if anyone needs commissions over the weekend. I have a list going, I don't want it to fill if you want something. Check out my commissions page for pricing. http://jnoblepeteranetz.blogspot.com/p/commissions.html

So, this is the first is a series of posts that is going to prepare you all for my appearence at Denver Comic Con this year. As you all know, I am the featured artist this year. That means I got to do the badge art, I helped design and create Captain Colorado (whom you see above), and I have been doing a TON of last minute artwork for the convention. Over the next two weeks leading up to the convention, I am going to be showing off my work that you can find around the convention hall this year.

First up is the Captain Colorado Poster and program cover. This is the new Denver Comic Con mascot. You can find the program cover at Opening Ceremonies, and at the front door, and you can find the poster (which will be $5) at the Denver Comic Con merchandise booth, or at my table, which is in Merchant Mesa Booth 324.

Finally, I am opening up a commission list for the weekend. You can email me at jpeteranetz@gmail.com if you would like a commission and pick it up at the convention. You can look at my commissions page for pricing. OR I am doing 11x17 or 8.5x11 inch watercolor pre-orders for an additional $20 over the color prices on the commissions page.
